TO ALL WHOM IT MAY ONCERN:

The nature of my invention consists in constructingbag-fasteners with the band A composed of metallic cord, the elasticity of. such band admitting of suiicient opening or separation. of its ends, so as to be readily placed around the neck ofthe bag; further, in providing said band with clasps, B B, these clasps being provided with hook C, and slot 5D, standing transversely to said hook, for the purpose of securing the fastening. Tile clasps B B are also provided with arms, E E, for facilitating the pressing of the fastener around the bag-neck still further, in providing the-outer ends of saidv arms, also the opposite parts or endsof the clasps, with ears or a-tteued projections, F F and Gr G, for the purpose of turning reversely the opposite parts of the clasp, thus enabling the opening and closing of said clasps.

I. claim the band A, composed oi'- metallic cord, in connection ywith the clasps B B, and fastcni'ngs C D, v

arms E E, and ears or projections F F and G G, all arranged f'o operate as herein set forth.
